#BIRTHDAY: Bacchelli from Spain is 69 today No country currently taking part (that’s previously won) has been waiting longer for their next win than Spain. It’s over 50 years since they topped the rankings, a year after their previous win. But at least they’re trying. One of those […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sarah Bray from Luxembourg is 55 today Who’s looking forward to an Italian contest in 2022? Now the new season has started, we can look forward to a whole new crop of songs, sung by (possibly) a whole new crop of singers. But let’s look back to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Carola from Sweden is 55 today We know you like our birthday feature. Well this is one you won’t want to miss. Sweden is – in some eyes – the pinnacle of Eurovision-ness. So when a Swedish birthday comes along, we’re going to celebrate it. Today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ami Aspelund from Finland is 68 today Finland. Who doesn’t love Finland. A land of content people, vast expanses of nature and a language many people have been know to find incomprehensible. And it’s fair share of very underrated songs. Today’s birthday girl Ami Aspelund – or […]
#BIRTHDAY: Annet Artani from Cyprus is 45 today Who wouldn’t love to see a win by Cyprus? A contest in the sun, probably on the coast, and a place wanting to publicise their country after a maiden victory. Cyprus has tried, tried and tried again. A runner-up spot […]
#BIRTHDAY: Polina Smolova from Belarus is 41 today Those semi-finals are always bloodbaths. You can probably pick a semi-final winner, but ten get through so there are often surprises. Surprises in that a fancied song misses the cut, or something you don’t expect makes it. Even with semi-finals, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Stevan Faddy from Montenegro is 35 today You know when you’re new at something, and you’re really enthusiastic about it? You want to make a good impression, and so you put on your best frock, your best voice, and you try to be dead nice. Our friends […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lea Sirk from Slovenia is 32 today Many years ago, there was a country called Yugoslavia. By the 1990s, it had started to dissolve and before too long its former constituent republics started entering in their own rights. These nations have, to be said, had mixed success. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Fərid Məmmədov from Azerbaijan is 30 today Some countries seem to have an easier time at Eurovisions than others. Some will stick to their tried and tested formulae, even though they may be a little dated. Others can tap into the current mood and make the most […]
BIRTHDAY: Gry Johansen from Denmark is 57 today Thick and thin. That’s an adage that applies to every country taking part in our favourite TV show. Any country can win, but equally any country can do less well. Yes, even our Nordic friends. In 1983 we were deep […]
